Excellent point

Might have something to do with the reality they cut their expert contractors and thinned down state sector knowledge by cutting state employees.

A loosely coordinated network of candidates with roots in the anti-mandate movement is contesting this year’s local elections.

Behind the boring promises: the protesters trying to reshape local democracy

Candidates linked to the pandemic protest movement are increasingly targeting council seats under community banners.

🚨 Voices for Freedom and Local Elections 🚨

Last local elections VFF encouraged people to run for local council. Their plan was semi-successful, electing dozens of councillors and board members. This time around, they're far more organised. Read: www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

With Pete Hegseth calling a emergency meeting of top military and moves like this below, I doubt escalator and teleprompter investigations are top of the agenda.

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration.

This so-called battle was actually the slaughter of 150-300 (reports vary) Lakota Native Americans , including women and children. 🤦‍♀️ It was a massacre. history.nebraska.gov/the-military...

I remember him calling lockdowns in NZ like North Korea, yet Aussie had the longest lockdowns. But he also praised Ardern at one point for the financial measures and said he agreed with them . I might need to hunt that out for prosperity.

the piece that starts about 5 mins in was exceptionally blunt . Raskin is a great orator and a intelligent man. That book KP wrote is next level. 😬

Donna ☕📚🌸 @ctpuzzlepieces.bsky.social · 18d

for those in NZ that are not familiar with Raskin, he is a constitutional expert .... his legal skill and knowledge far outweighs KPs.

"Rep. Jamie Raskin delivered opening remarks directed at FBI Director Kash Patel during a House Judiciary Committee meeting. 19 Sept 2025.

I always enjoy Raskin's style - great use of alt-media clips.

I am sure a lot have left especially due to state service job cuts. I am interested in knowing how many came home to NZ to shelter during covid and have now left also.

Good Question- surely there must be a press conference today from parliament with the info - after they repent of course .

Donna ☕📚🌸 @ctpuzzlepieces.bsky.social · 19d

Some US tourists have revived a decades-old practice to avoid anti-American sentiment due to Trump administration. They’re hiding behind the maple leaf in a phenomenon known as flag jacking.

Some American travelers are ‘flag jacking’ and Canadians are livid | CNN

As Trump’s second term sparks global reactions, some Americans are posing as Canadians abroad — infuriating real Canadians, who say it’s cultural identity theft.

maybe the rapture has come early ........ 🌀.
More seriously - we have battened down the hatches and loaded the garage with outdoor future just in case.

One of ours sent a OIA demanding the government repent their sins while they have time.
